Hello guys,
I was wondering if you can help me out. I got my Dell Streak for about a month now and I came from using an HTC EVO. There are couple features in the EVO (HTC Sense) that I wish it came with the streak.
1) T9 dialer, I love this feature on HTC but I found an alternative for our phone called the thaidial plus. So I am very happy about that.
2) Pictures from facebook is linked to your contacts. I tried synchmypix app but its not working the way I want to.
My phone is currently running the stock Dell 2.2 and I have set-up facebook to connect with my contact.
Am I missing something??
Thanks guys in advance.

SyncMyPix works for me...
I use Asurion Addressbook. They offer a Facebook Mixin that will do what you want.
syncmypix works..but sometimes you have to link them manually when you have double or multiple entry of the same contact
Upgrade to StreakDroid 1.7.0 Facebook sync now works.
really? my 1.7 cant sync with facebook, everytime there is an error????
1) search for dialer one on the market and use that for t9 dialer.
2) facebook sync is a known issue and is busted in the dell roms but it is working in dj_steve's 1.7.0 If your not comfortable, or just don't want to flash another rom, then you have several third party options with syncmypix being the most popular.

Maybe you should be more clear on what does and what does not work. You might get a better answer then.
Hi,
What exactly is the issue that you're having?
Also, what ROM are you using?
...and next time, please post in GENERAL or Q&A
Moved as not Android Development.
Apologies for posting in wrong section
I have original HTC hero Rom 1.5 Android, waiting for 2.1. My issue is, the email application doesn't check my emails as per schedule and I don't get notified of nothing although notification sound is on. I can send emails fine I cannot recieve most of the time. My hotmail account doesn't work at all, I got all the settings from hotmail website.
In k9mail, I get old messages as new every single day so I uninstalled it.
Thx.....

Has anyone seen an extracted Samsung tablet email client? Thinking it would look good on the Streak.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
I extracted them and posted them in the Android Development section...maybe i should put them here...
EDIT: I have attached the files to this post... the odex file has the apk extension added to it, you need to remove it if you to use it.
Thanks but doesn't look like the app shown on the Engadget demo video?
That one has a landscape interface somewhat like the ipad client with the inbox on the left and content on the right.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Got a screenshot ?
Does this work?
It does work but isn't dramatically different from the stock email client. I was hoping for the app from the tablet - think this is the phone version?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
How did you install I couldnt get it working. Im running dj steves rom.
To run this on my Steak, I use Astro file manager. Click the email application entry, open in application manager, then click the launch button.
It's not sufficiently different from the stock email app for me to make a switch. I was hoping for the client from the Samsung Galaxy tablet, not the phone.

I installed the one from the tab that looks like the ipad one in landscape but to many force closes for me to keep it. Looks great on the streak though.
Where did you get the tablet one? I'd like to try it just to see what it looks like.

tab email client
Does it replace the email app or the googlemail app?
I use gmail but the galaxy tab email looks superb.
Replaces the email not gmail app.
is this a newer file? Cause the last time I tried this, it would FC everytime I try to compose or reply. Can anyone confirm it works on the Streak properly...and if so, what ROM are you using?
I am connecting to internet via wifi. One more problem though, I tried using applications like contapps and Phonebook 2.0, but when i try to authorize the app with facebook, it cannot connect to facebook.
I get the error as page not available.
Facebook app for android and web access for FB works fine, but from inside other apps I cant connect to FB to fetch Data.
Please help, not able to use any apps that fatch fb data.
-------------------------------
Update: other apps like egreetings are also not able to connect with Facebook.
Connecting to Facebook via Contapps
Hi Prakash,
I just saw your message about not being able to connect to Facebook via Contapps, can you specify some more details about your problem, when you go to Settings->Tapps->Facebook Tapp and click connect there should be a window opened with the Facebook login page, are you getting a "Page not available" error inside that window?
What type of phone do you have? and what version of Android (2.1? 2.2? with HTC Sense?)
I hope I'll be able to help you and we can solve this issue quickly and you will be able to enjoy your contacts
You can also contact me directly at support at contapps dot com
Thanks
Shay
Think this may be a Steak problem, can't connect to Zynga poker myself, it appears to open up a browser window and receive a browser error before dying.
Using official 2.2

Yes, this is the exact problem happening when connecting by tapp.
Also the same thing happens with other apps which try to connect to FB.
Using Official dell 2.2.
Thank you guys for the information, we will look into the Dell Streak problem, and I'll post an update as soon as we have more information.
It looks like it's Facebook SDK problem (the window and what's inside it is not part of Contapps, but part of the Facebook authentication problem), which can explain why other applications can't connect as well, and I'm hoping it'll be fixed soon
Enjoy your contacts!

Any update on this??
Not being able to connect to FB is so annoying !!
FB data fetching is one of the basic facility required in a smartphone these days..
Missing out on so many great apps because of this, feels I am not using Android, but some crappy OS..
Which version of 2.2 are you using? Earlier official ones had the redirect problem and I found that to affect facebook apps.

ok folks just finished playing with this for the moment, hows about a galaxy tab email client for the streak
few issues in here though at min , they are listed below,
What is working?
Gmail Setup(also through "Other" setup as IMAP")
Gmail mail loaded
Gmail can send mail
Logging working so it keeps track of what has been sent/received
Rotating to portrait works
Notifications
Yahoo and Hotmail(possibly as well as gmail)
Conversation mode
Deleting messages
Switching between folders within mailbox(click on INBOX)
Exchange Email Fixed
Refresh Button Added
Issues
pop email accounts will add but never show emails, use imap instead as this should work.
ill probly play further with this also, and thanks to celljunkie for helping out this little port
link to the update zip: http://downloads.streakdroid.com/djsteve/tabmail.zip
Had this on my Samsung Captivate earlier and it was very bad. After about 3 days it would just crap out totally.
The only good email.apk i found on the samsung hardware was the lastest email.apk in the JPY roms that are 2.2.1
I think you maybe disappointed putting all this work in and the tab email sucks.
Steve you are a one man wrecking crew! Keep up the great work!

yeah - did it via clockwork - super easy. I tried the beta 1 version last night which was a manual install, but that shouldn't matter... beta 2 installs via clockwork.
ok ive installed the new email client, however i am slightly confused, i just wish to confirm that this just replaces the defult email app, and so there would be no additional email application other then this?
yup just found out for myself.lol
one additional question does anybody know the correct settings to set up a hotmail email account?
seems to keep force closing on me
fixed it, yes you must have them all as imap or it will force close, but wow- this is a much better email client than the standard streak email- and better than gmail app too- would be nice to have a widget that can work with it tho

Solution stolen from modaco forums Tab email client thread(johnston in particular):
"
try setting up your hotmail as exchange using m.hotmail.com and then just use your full email address and password.
you should be able to do this for hotmail.com and .co.uk accounts just make sure m.hotmail.com is your server setting.".
I was struggling with hotmail until used these settings. now it just works.

also from modaco, lol.
Per steve for FC:
"clear data in manage apps"
thanks just done it, with active sync, that messed me up a lil b4 too as because i kept removing the "/" when writing the username or domain section which was silly of me. but yes works brilliantly now

I tried but it says unable to connect to server. Do I use the same (mail.comcast.net) in the imap area and same for (smtp.comcast.net)? It seems when I do a manual setup I get unable to connect. When I do a auto setup it works but unable to receive but could send mail.

Anyone get gmail to work with exchange?
I just installed this and set up my work exchange account as it had been with the stock email program. All I get is a "connection error" message. I know the settings are correct. Is there something I need to do to enable exchange that is not readily obvious in the settings menu, or is this just a bug that needs to be fixed?
Thanks
I keep getting fc,s with it. Ill wait till it is more stable but hatsoff to dj steve

I recently switched to CyanogenMod 7 R1. I had done a Titanium Backup of my apps before I switched, but didn't realise that it wouldn't back up stock apps. I really love the stock e-mail app which came with the phone, it handles g-mail better than the g-mail app or the Cyanogen e-mail app IMO. Is there a way for me to get the app on Cyanogen or no?
Thanks!

Last I heard its part of the Sense UI. You couldnt use it without having Sense installed and in that case you might as well run one of the Iced Glacier ROMs.
I thought the app was there, its just the widget that's gone.
I never used the widget, just the app. Any hope for this?

I was using K-9 as my e-mail app until yesterday I realized I could just forward all of my e-mail accounts to gmail. k-9 is an excellent program, but it wasn't useful any longer after I realized I could do this. Plus, gmail's interface is much smoother and easier to use.
But Sense did have a great email app, but since going to CM, I had no choice but to try alternatives. Gmail, however, is great so far.
What I like about k9 is that it handles attachments better.
